Watches & Wonders Recap w/ Stephen Watson | Talking:Shift

We’d like to welcome you all to Talking:Shift; a casual chat about watches, collecting and anything else that drives the conversation! And what better way to introduce our latest video series than to dig into this year’s new novelties from Watches & Wonders 2024!
Thomas Calara, one of our Contributing Editors here at A:S, as well as Josh Coates, our Vintage Timepiece Specialist sat down with Stephen Watson, one half of the Watches of Switzerland coverage team who was on the ground in Geneva, Switzerland to cover all of the horological madness.
Stephen Watson is an industry veteran currently serving as the Editor-In-Chief for Modern Luxury's Watches International and contributing as a social media consultant, writer, and video producer for Watches of Switzerland. In addition to numerous bylines in Revolution Mag and Watch Journal, Stephen has made a name for himself in the fashion industry with stints as the Fashion Director of Men's Vogue and Associate Fashion Editor of Vogue. Needless to say, Stephen is more than qualified to chat all-things Watches & Wonders.
Was it an underwhelming year? Not in the slightest bit! We talk about a handful of fantastic releases, new design directions, and potential trends that impact our world and beyond.
